    Default Spider: The Video Game PSX

    Hi guys,

    Quick question for you. I have a copy of Spider for the PSX (US Release). My copy appears to have been published by Take 2 but every cover image/writeup on the game that I've seen on the net has it as being published by BMG.

    Anyone know why this discrepency exists? Is my copy a second print run?

    Pic/scan of yours?

    I'd say a second print run, though I'm hardly an expert on it. I do recall hearing a lot about the game later on in the system's life(and well after the initial game release), though I don't recall seeing any copies published outside of the usual BMG.

    Sorry for the crappy pictures.

    As you can see, everything is branded Take 2 (including the insert)

    Take 2 did buy up BMG Interactive way back when, so that's gotta be another print run.

    Good ol' Boss studios. They made a ton of great games back in the day.

    Too bad I never got to play this one. I always thought it looked cool but could never find a copy locally.
    If a god is willing to prevent evil, but not able, then he is not omnipotent. If he is able, but not willing, then he must be malevolent. If he is both willing and able, then why is there evil? If he is neither able or willing then why call him a god?

    For what it's worth, mine is a Take 2 copy as well. I remember my grandma bought me and my cousins each a copy at Meijer when it had dropped to like $14.99. Or maybe it was never that expensive to begin with.

    Yup! BMG was the publisher for it over here.

    However, I wouldnt say its a 'cool' game... If you want a 2.5 platformer, play Klonoa...

    Thanks guys. I was just going through my PSOne games yesterday and noticed that every bit of info I could find online for this one mentioned BMG and no one else.

    I figured it was probably something as simple as a second production run but wanted to make sure

    The game had two runs. The original run was the BMG, and Take2 came later.
    Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.
